Clarkes Bar in Mullingar

05/07/2025: First timers here despite it being open 2.5 years. Dogs are welcome. My children and I checked out the spacious secret garden out back but ultimately sat at the front window to people watch. I enjoyed the relaxing chilled music playing. Decor is opulent especially the toilet and connecting room between the front and the secret garden. There is free coffee grind compost available to customers. Handmade cards are sold here too. I noted a tempting Summer special of Greek style frappe and Specialty hot chocolates eg Terry's choc orange here. My two children and I shared water, a Cookie €2.50 & a Toasted ham and cheese croissant at €6. I had had a cappuccino and shared pastries next door with the kids but wanted to check out this cafe and was still craving ham and cheese hence the small order. I thought staff could've been friendlier but maybe it was due to how much money I was spending here on this occasion. Overall, loved the quirkiness here. Worth checking out. Tip: pay for Street parking or pay for parking at shopping centre that houses Penneys.
